Harkin Family Inver Donegal

[muffin74]

Only just seen you posting from 2010 .....

My Great Grandfather was Patrick Porter, who married Catherine Craynor from Carnamoyle. They lived in Kilderry and had a son, James and daughter Rebecca.
Is that of any help?

Hi RebeccaB, I believe that is the same Porter connection! Patrick and Catherine's son James is my Great Grandfather, I think as soon as you make 3 posts you can send/receive PM's so hopefully you can get in touch and we can compare notes

Hi derrylass and Aghadowey thanks for the additional information, it's been a while since I've looked at my tree but these are new leads and will most likely spark my interest again

Hi Muffin74,

I am not sure what "PM"s are, but if I keep posting messages, I am sure I will find out :-)

The James Porter (son of Patrick & Catherine) in my tree was married to Isabella Sweeney, and their childrens names were Patrick, Marion, William, James, John and Bridget.

Does that ring any bells?

Regards,
Noeleen

Yes Bridget was my Grandmother how are you connected?

[muffin74]

Oops just noticed your name on your reply and think I've realised who you are

[RebeccaB]

I think I know who you are too.when I saw all the names below the post I thought it might have been a new lead .regards Noeleen

There is also a Rebecca Harkin born 10 Apr. 1903 in Queens on the birth index on italiangen.org.

Already posted in reply #12 last March.

Think this Rebecca is the one in 1910 census with mother Isabella Harkins.
